Very alarmed, the Pope did a dramatic call in the Sunday message from the window of his study on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace after the Regina Caeli prayer, in the aftermath of the Iranian attack on Israel. He called for “an end to any action that increases violence and turns the Middle East into an even bigger conflict after Iran’s intervention in Israel.”
“No one should threaten the existence of others. “We must all fight so that Israelis and Palestinians can live in two states, side by side and in complete safety,” she said.
Showing good health, Francis asked that “all nations stand for peace and help Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace. It’s your right.”
Applauded by the crowd who followed him from the square, the Argentine pontiff asked that “all nations take the side of peace and help Israel and the Palestinians to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and follow the paths of negotiation with determination. “That that population will be helped in a conflict that has led to a humanitarian catastrophe.”
Ultimately he focused on the need to end the war. “May the hostages (the Israelis, captured by Hamas on October 7, who effectively started the war) be released immediately”
«Enough with the war, enough with the attacks, yes to dialogue and yes to peace!», concluded Francis.
